A set of coronal mass ejections are heading towards Earth and should arrive by late May 10th or early May 11th, triggering a severe (G4) geomagnetic storm. Effects may include aurora visible as far south as Alabama to northern California. For more information see the NOAA space weather page.

The CNSA (China) Chang'e-6 lunar sample return mission launched on May 3 at 09:27 UT (5:27 p.m. Beijing time) on a Long March 5 booster from Wenchang Satellite Launch Center and entered lunar orbit on 02:21 UT, May 8.

The Voyager 1 spacecraft successfully started transmitting engineering data on 20 April for the first time since November 14, 2023. A software fix circumvented a chip failure that had prevented useful data from being sent. For more, see the JPL news release.
